All submissions, even if you have already started working on your project idea and do not look for other team members, have to be indicated on the project idea list that will be open to be filled out from April 13th, 10 AM CEST until April 16th, 3 PM CEST. Only projects that have been communicated on this list, will enter the competition and will be judged.

Submissions must include a name and description with the team members, what problem the entry product solves. Submissions should include at least a design and a prototype, or simulation where applicable, along with a proposal of next steps, path forward, and a description of the necessary resources and plan to implement the project. Video demonstrations are encouraged and should be submitted as a link to Youtube or Vimeo.

We encourage submissions to include information on how the product incorporates feedback from envisaged end users.

Any and all tech stacks are welcome, but we encourage teams to build on tech stacks that are easy to scale and commonly used. Any necessary supplementary files, such as installation files or instructions, should be included with the submission as a single file or a zip.
